steganography is the technique used for hiding various data in different type of image and audio files with out changing the basic characteristics of file. Steghide is a utility for steganography. The color- respectivly sample-frequencies are not changed thus making the embedding resistant against first-order statistical tests.

Features include:
* Compression of embedded data
* Encryption of embedded data
* Embedding of a checksum to verify the integrity of the extraced data
* Support for JPEG, BMP, WAV and AU files
